Weird random HBP thought (no disturbing crossover pairings this time)

[persephone_kore]

Okay, this is sort of an odd mingling of assorted theories I've seen running around. So a lot of people think Dumbledore will die, and there's this notion of how Harry might travel into death or the afterlife, and there's that interesting idea that the seven tasks in PS somehow correspond to the seven books.

Suppose Harry and Dumbledore go into death together, but Dumbledore has to stay behind? (Remember the one potion to go onward, one to go back.)

...I don't know; it doesn't really seem to feel right.

Well, JKR did say that dead people stay dead.

But as I've said before, these days I never assume I read her statements correctly.

There could also be some kind of a situation in which one has to die in order for the other to survive, in which case one would "go on" and one would "go back." The realm of the dead doesn't have to be literal for the idea to work.
